    I know.. I saw that 2.. I knew there would be a thread about it..
    I have 7 different subs in right now..
    a couple at only 4-5 cards.. and some are 1-2.. I figured those would bang out in a day

    oh well.. hopefully next week.. I think the show slowed the down

    An order with 1 or 2 cards is express?

    Bob what order can you send in only one or 2 cards?



    How do they know the order only has 1 or 2 cards?

    What am I missing?

    nevermind I see that 'regular' can have just 1 or 2 cards, in the past didn't that have 10 or more?

    In any event how would they know your order has only 1 or 2 cards?

    dude I don't know how they operate.. it seems pretty random..
    but if you watch their video they have them in little boxes they roll onto the floor
    and graders take them.. I would think if you got a bunch of little tiny orders cluttering up an area
    you might take them and bang them out to keep things from getting to overwhelming

    I sent orders in last month on the $6 special no min size order

    1 order was 2 hand cut panels it popped in about a week or so.

    1 is a couple oversized cards (exhibits)

    1 order was a few 1931 wills cards walt disney and mickey mouse for example

    1 order was a $15 5 day'r that is still in problem resoltion status a 62 salada clemente coin
    I sent it in for the $6 special not realizing they didn't run that again this month

    one other question were all the orders you mentioned in the same box?

    if so then I can understand why some popped while others didn't.

    Is that the case?


    Yes it is very random it is not a FIFO scenario.

    No rhyme or reason.

    When I want my cards back faster I use the $14/5 day set registry special. When I am in no rush and want to save a few dollars I use the $4.50 special (if it is running) and I expect to wait approx. 45 days. Anything sooner is a pleasant surprise.

    I've had great turn-arounds on all my subs, but it does seem to be hit or miss from what I see posted here. I guess you just hope to get lucky or pay more to get something quicker. Oh well, it is what it is.

    They're probably looking for the one guy on the planet who knows anything about 1931 Wills tobacco cards

    They have a BIG room, with a bunch of BIG bins, with a bunch of BIG boxes in them.

    They have them numbered 1 to 1000, they do a random number program. Whatever number they come up with, they go to that bin and have a BIG dude, pick out some of the boxes (one for each grader) then they come back, grade the cards and do it all over again.
